Updating or contributing new translations doesn't change the attribution, despite changed settings and user data in Launchpad. > As a secondary issue, when you say you have been attributed these > translations, do you mean that individual translation strings on > Launchpad have your name next to them? Or that a translation file lists > you as a contributor? This is another part of the problem: you get the whole file attributed to you, which is very clearly not something I'd want. I can and will only stand up for translations *I* have done. >From off-list exchange about this problem, I understand there is little workable communication between Launchpad, Rosetta and e. g. Schooltool, that I happen to have contributed to. Judging from ongoing discussions in e. g. the gnome-i18n list, this is no small problem. Quoting one message there: "The real problem here is simple. Launchpad keeps its users helpless. They have to depend on the mercy of the developers. If only the users had the ability to scratch their itch, it would have long gone." Surely, this doesn't have to be this way. Leaving things the way they are would be to squander the good potential in Launchpad. Please, start communicating! BR, Gudmund
